Abstract
All Soviet constitutions contained provisions concerning the organization of the territory of the state. In the first Soviet constitutions, the issues of territory were reflected in the articles establishing the system of local authorities and establishing the right of nations to self-determination. Ethnic diversity, differences in the social and legal life of national communities, made this idea close to both the official state-legal doctrine and the Bolshevik party program, which stated the need for regional self-government for localities that differ in special living conditions and the composition of the population. Starting with the Constitution of the USSR in 1936, the main law began to list the administrative-territorial and national-territorial units within that state.
